Have posted on the Mark 6 GTi bit cos I've just ordered a new one that's due for the 59 plates in September. I had a Mark 3 GTi and 2 Mark 4 GT TDis and have been away from VW since those. That's about 5 years in total so I thought I'd re-introduce myself on the newbie bit.
In fact the 2 Mark 4s were the worst cars I've ever owned and I vowed I'd never buy another VW but I test drove a Mark 5 GTi on its launch and loved it. Never bought one because I was determined not to buy one after the experience with the Mark 4s but always still hankered after one. Test drove a very late Mark 5 with DSG in February and nearly bought it but didn't cos the dealer wouldn't reduce the price, despite my claim it was obsolete.
So after 5 long years I test drove the Mark 6 last Monday, loved it instantly and ordered one. I just hope and pray it now lives up to my expectations of it and i can genuinely fall in love with VW again.
Fingers crossed!!!!
